The two volumes recently issued by the Harpers, under tbe title of 'Letters from Constantinople,' will no doubt be read with great avidity. They are understood to be from the pen of Commodore Porter, American Charge d'Aflairs near his Sublime Highness Sultan Mahmoud. The letters were evidently not designed for publication. They are written in a free, easy, conversational style, and were addressed to James K. Paulding, Esq. They embrace sketches of the manners and habits of the Turks, as well of high as of low life of the females as well as the males. We have only found leisure to look through the first volume, but are extremely anxious to peruse the second, and can assure the reader that a more interesting work has not appeared from the press for years. Tho station of Com. Porter afforded him peculiar facilities for studying Turkish life and character, and hence we find many dcscriplions in these letters altogether novel and interesting. Wo subjoin two extracts one in relation to the women of Turkey, their appearance and enjoyments; the other an outline of tho Sultan. Philadelphia Inquirer. Thb Sultan. As the Sultan approached the vessel, the old hakim appeared to be explaining to him something about the dunces he had seen. They both appeared to be in fine humour, and every now and then, the doctor would touch the Sultan's arm, and desire him to look at him, and he would try to imitate the steps of the . European dances. Tho Sultan cunie to tho distance of about three paces from the vessel, when he stopped, and as suming all the majesty of the sovereign of a great empire, ho cast his eyes around among us; and immediately asked who I was? They told him. He then inquired who my nephew was, and on being informed called Mr Eckford to him, and gave him a snuff box set with diamonds. I landed with my nephew, and walked to a little distance, when every person on board, down to the very lowest, was called on shore, and each one in turn, received a present in money. I had a fine opportunity of seeing the Sultan. He has a noble countenance, though an eye that cannot bear your earnest look for an instant. His features are regular and handsome, and he has a fine rosy complexion, but a little brown, from frequent exposure to tho sun. His form is erect, ubout five feet ten inches high, a little inclined to corpulency. His beard is rather short, but full and of a deep shining black. It is said to be stained, which I think is probable. His head was covered with the red fez, without any other ornament than the full blue silk tassel, which hung from the top and full behind. He wore a straight-breasted, light-blue silk jacket, with a collar closely buttoned up the chin, on the breast of which was a smull diamond badge. His trowscrs were of crimson silk, rnthor full and gathered round the waist, descending to the ankle, where they were quite tight, and allowed off to great advantage, a handsome foot, covered by a silk stocking, and a remarkable neat European shoe, tiod with a black riband. The wholo dress was simple and very becoming. It resembled, except the fez, such as gen. tlemen of the United Slates put on their sons between the ages of six and eight, the jacket was rather short waistcd. " The whole personal appearance of the Sultan was very clean, and what surprised me was, that it was much more so thun any of the young pachas, and the others who attended him. In fact, there .was a slight air of dandyism about him. A SCENE IN TIIE VALLEY OP SwEET WATERS. Talking of women reminds me of a scene I witnessed last Friday, the Turkish Sunday. I will try to describe it, but I fear that I shall not succeed better than 1 did in my description of the Bosphorus. But lake it such as it is. " An old gentleman who lives at a village about five miles below me, on the other side of the Bosphorus, called Candalir, asked me to como over to take breakfast with him, and promised me a distant view from the top of the hill of an assemblage ol the females of the X urkish fiirm lies of Constantinople and the neighboring towns as they gather together in the valloy of b wee t Waters ol Asia, every r nuay, and there pass the day, amusing themselves variously. . He said he could not approach them, but' that the sight at a distance was worth seeing. I nc cordingly went to his house, whore I was inlrodu' ced to his wife, his eight or ten married dauelv ters, and their from six to eight children apiece, and after enjoying the magnificent view from the hill at the back of his garden, proceeded to my kaick, and embarked for tho valley of Sweet waters about a mile above us. A kaick is a long narrow light boat 1 :ko an Indian canoe, but turning up at each end; highly ornamented by carved work and cildinrj. and rowed (that is the diplomatic ones,) by three sturdy Musselmen, dressed in white course shirts and trowsers, their muscular arms bare to the shoulders, a small red skull-cap with a bluo tassel on their heads, and each rowing two pair of oars. The larger kind carry from four to five pas-sengors, seated on carpets in tho bottom of the after part of the bout, and they skim along with a velocity which is almost incredible They are beautiful things and perfect of thoir kind. At Buvucdcre, a man's rank is as well known by the number of his oars as by the number of strokes on the bell. On our way to the valley, we were joined by numberless kaicks filled with women, and in addition to the usual complement, as many children as they could stow away among them, and they appeared to take very good care that no room should bo lost. Women aro generally economical, and aro so in Turkey, at least when boat hire is in question, so fur as I could judge from appearances. We entered with them a narrow fresh-water river, up which we proceeded for about a mile. when we came to a light and airy wooden bridge thrown across the stream, near which was a landing place, and at it a multitude of kaicks, irom the rank ot three banks down to one. A string of carriages, filled with women and children, was at the moment crossing the bridge to the place near where we had landed, which was the entrance to an extensive grove, consist, ingoftrees ofthelurgest kind; some in clusters of three, four and five; others spreading their branches to an immense distance, sllording ample space and shelter from tho sun for thou-sands. Here and there were seats, and a mar ble fountuin of clear and cold water, supplied the means of refreshment. ,The Turkish carriage is a curious vehicle. It is something in shape like our Jersey wagons, without springs or seals, and is drawn by two fut and beautiful light grey oxen, most gorgeously decorated on their flanks, back and shoulders with gold, and a rich fringe work made of silk. On tho face from tho horns to the nose is a piece somewhat in the form of a shield, composed of innumerable looking glasses, set in gold and silk work. The carriage is called an arabn, it is probable from the rich arabesques, with which the exterior as well as the interior is covered, highly ornumonted with gold and rich point work. It has a bow top covered with a rich woollen or silk cloth, generally red, with whito silk or linen curtuins neatly fringed. The entrance is at the back by means of a small ladder, and the persons within are seated in the Turkish manner on rich and soft cushions. Each of those vehicles contained from six to eight Turkish ladies dressed in orientul richness; the curtains of most of them were open; many of the ludics had their luces exposed, at least long enough to give me a full view of them. They were of various ages, most of them from fifteen to three or four and twenty, and the major part of them extremely beautiful. Charmed with this unexpected, and singularly beautiful and picturesque spectacle, I followed the direction of the carriages up the valley, where I saw seated on rich Turkey carpets, spread on the grass in the shade of the wide spreading trees, many hundreds of young and beautiful Turkish women amusing themselves variously. Their carriages were druwn up in lines near them; the oxen, under the charge of the keeper, were grazing on the smooth green lawn which was in the cen. tre of the grove; the children, richly clad and beautilul as angles chasing tho butterflies and grasshoppers, while bands of wandering min strels, generally Greeks, enchanted with their music and love songs groups of "lights of tho harem;" here and thare a wundering Bohemian, or Hungarian, recounting some love adventure, or an bgyptiun fortune teller, examining the palms, und exciting the hopes of some believing fuir one. Among other exhibitions for tho amusement of the domestics and the children, was a large grisly bcur which had been taught to dance, to wrestle, &c. ccc. led by a savage from the north, moro wild and grisly than his companion.Not a. Turk was visible in this wholo scene, except a small guard of soldiers at tho landing place, to keep order among tho boatmen, the women were as free as the air they breathed, and as unrestrained. I went among them, made signs to them, for I could not speak; my compan ioDs (I had two,) talked to them; there was scarcely a fuce amongst them worth seeing, that 1 nau not a lull view ot, and never In my lilt: did 1 so much regret tho want of a tongue to express myself. It is difficult to reconcile oneself to the Turk ish fomale dress. Thnt of tho men is loose, flowing, and rich; and from tho quantity of ma terials of which it is composed, gives to the man an air ot magnificence, from the apparent in crease of all his dimensions. The idea is meant apparently, to be kept up as regards the female figure, but they loose that airy neatness, and sprighthness of action, which distinguishes christian woman, or one dressed in the christian stylo. An Armenian woman in the Turkisl: dress, is altogether a ditlurcnt being Irom an Armenian divesled of her load of cloth, boots, and slippers coming oil at every moment as she walks. Tho Turkish female dress consists of first a piece of fine muslin which covers tho head down to the eye-brows; unothor in some cases as trans parent as uir; which covers the face from tho noso down, and conceals tho neck and bosom one or two lino and rich vests open at tho breast which is hid by tho aforesaid transparent veil; looso trowsers gathered abovo tho hips, and be low the knee; a rich sash passing several times around the waist; thin yellow morocco boots, which reach to the culf of the leg, and yellow slippers; a long silk garment with sleeves falling to the ankles, and over all a full cloak of the finest broadcloth, trailing on tho ground, with a squaio capo of equal length and long sleeves This with a mullitudo of massive gold bracelets rings, chains, and a profusion of jewels, and you have a tolerably lair picturo ot a 1 urkish lady of rank, such as I saw, and of tho family of tho Keis fcllendi, corresponding with our Secretary ofStuto, whoso wife and family 1 had tho honor to salute, and to receive from them a suluto in return; that is to say, the right hand laid on the breast, the head gently reclined; then the right hand shifted to the head; the salutation is grace ttscii tne way tney do it. bpcaking of the dress; it is a great incum branc? to them in walking. Tho cloak is etcr nally dropping off one shoulder or the other: then it has to bo hitched up; by the time it is fixed, off comes a slipper; in stooping to see where it is, (for they can't look down without stooping, from tho qunntity of clothing which interposes between their eyes and tho ground.) off drops the clouk from their shoulders; now both arms and hands are required to draw it on which they do by cutching hold of the side of the cloak, and throwing their arms open in an elevated direction, thus exposing all their under garments and finery. When you see a Turkish' woman walking, it appears as if sho had as much as she could do to keep herself together. xet for all this, tho scene of the Valley of Sweet Waters was lovely, and tho situation in which 1 was placed, singular. 1 have no re collection of any traveler mentioning this placo or noticing tho extreme license given to Turkish women on their bunday. 1 hey scarcely seem ed to bo aware of tho impropriety of a departure irom their usual concealment in our presence: thoy gnzed at us, nnd wo gazed at them with equal curiosity. What struck me most w their brilliant black eyes, Iheir beautifully arch cd eyo-brows, and their long and glossy black hair almost reaching the ground. The delicate fairness of their skins, is owing uuuuut9 iu muir connirement to tneir nomes: of their figures I could not judge. Some of them have thrown off their clumsy yellow boots, and ubstituted the silk open work stockings and ippers; handsomer ankles, and smaller and moro beautiful feet, I have never seen. When man buys a wife, if rich, he undoubtedly chooses a handsome one. The Turks are a no ble race of men, and the women being gener- II y of Circassian origin, it is not surprising that the daughters of the Turks should bebeautiful. EAKLY RISING. From " Sketches and recollectiont:" by J. Poole. I do not call him an early riser, who once in is life may have been forced out of bis bed at o clock on a November morning, in conse- uence of his house having been on fire ever since seven: nor would I attach such a stigma to him who, in the sheer spirit of fool-hardiness and bravado, should for once "awake, arise," ven three or four hours earlier, in the same nclement season. , myself, ham done it! But the fact is that the thing, as a constant prac tice, is impossible to one who is not "to the manner bom." He must be taught it, as a fish is taught to swim, from his earliest infancy. l Know it may be objected to me, that chim ney-sweepers, dustmen, &c, are early risers: ut tins 1 would rather take to be a vulgar error. than admit it as a fact.- What proof can you adduce that Ihey have yet been to bed! For my own part, 1 am unwilling to think so uncharitably of human nature, as to believe that any realed being would force another to quit bis bed at 5 o'clock on a frosty morning. 1 have confessed that once, in the sheer spirit f bravado, I myself rose (or promised to rise) t that ignominious period of the night known, r rather heard of, by the term "four in the morning." Aly fully deserved a severe punishment, which, indeed, it received in its own con sequences: but, since I have lately been inform ed that a "good-natured friend " is of opinion that it merits Ihe additional chastisement of publio exposure, I will (to spare him the pain of bestowing it upon me) inflict the lash with my own hand. I had the pleasure of spending the last Christ mas holidays very agreeably with a family at Urislol. Having an appointment of some importance, for the eighth of January, in London, Had settled that my visit should terminate on Twelfth-night. On the morning of that festive occasion I had not yet resolved on any particu- ar mode of conveyance to town; when, walk- pg along ISroad-st., my attention was brought o tho subject by the various coach advertise ments which were posted on the walls. The Jlighuyer" announced its departure at three n the afternoon a rational hour; the "Mag net" at ten in the morning somewhat of tbe earliest; whilst the "Wonder" was advertised o start every mornine at five precisely!'.! a glaring impossibility. wo olten experience an irresistible impulse to interfere in some matter, simply because it appens to be no business of ours: and the case in question being clearly no affair of mine, I re solved to inquire into it. I went into the coach- ouice expecting to be told, in answer to my very first question, tint the advertisement was altogether a rune de guerre. "So, Mr, said 1 to the book-keeper, "you stare a coach to London at five In the morn' ing!" 1 cs, sir," replied he, and with the most per feet nonchulance! "You understand me! At five five in the MonNiNol" returned 1, with an emphasis um ciently expressive of doubt. "i cs, sir five to a minuto: two minutes later you II lose your place." 1 lua exceeded all my notions of human im pmlcnco. It was evident I had here an extra ordinary mine lo work, so I determined upon digging into it a few fathoms deeper. And would you, now, venture to book place for me!" "Let you know directly, sir. (Hand down the 'Wonder' Lunuun-book, there.) When for, sir!" I stood aghast at the fellow's coolness. After a momentary pause, "For to-morrow," said I. full outside, sir. Just one place vacant tn." The very word "outside" bringing forcibly to my mind the idea of ten or a dozen shivering creatures being induced, by any possible means, (o perch themselves on the lop of a coach, on a dark, dull, dingy, drizzling morning in January, convinced me that the wholo affair was what is vulgarly called a "take-in." 'to you will then venture to book a place for me! " "Yes, sir, if you please." "And, perhaps, you will go so far as to receive half my fare!" "If you please, sir one pound two. "Well, you are an extraordinary person! I crhaps, now pray be attentive perhaps now you will carry on the thing so far as to receive the whole!" "If you please, sir two pound four." I paid him the money, observing, at the same time, and in a tone calculated to impress his im agination with a vivid picture of attorneys counsel, judge, and jury "You shall bear from me again. "If you please, sir. To-morrow morning, at five, punctual start to a minute, sir thank'ee air good morning, sir. And this he uttered without a blush! "To what expedients," thought I, as I left the office, "men will resort, for the purpose of in juring their neighbors! Here is one who ex poses himself to the consequences of an action at law, or, at least, to tho expense of sending me to town in a chaise and four, at a reasonable hour of the day; and all for so paltry an advan tage as that of preventing my paying a trifling sum to a rival proprietor and on the preposter ous protence, too, of sending me olt at live in the morning!" The first person I met was my friend Mark Nottingham; and even now, though months have since rolled over my head, I shudder at the recollection of the agonies I suffered, when assured by him of the frightful fact that I bad, really and truly, engaged to travel in a coach which, really and truly, would start at five in the morning!"It may be asked why I do not forfeit myforty-four shillings, and thus escape the calamity. No the laugh would have been too much against mo: so, resolving to put a bold face on the matter, I I will not say I walked I positively swaggered about the streets of Bristol for an hour or two, with all the self-importance of one who has already performed some extraordinary exploit, and is conscious that the wondering gaze of the multitude is directed towards him. being condemned to the miseries, it was but fair that I should enjoy the honors, of the undertaking. To every person I met, with whom I had the slightest acquaintance, I said aloud, "I start at Jice to-morrow morning!" at Ihe same time adjusting my cravat and pulling up my collar; and went into three or four shops, and purchased trifles for which I had no earthly occasion, for the pure gratification of my vain-glory, in saying "Be sure you send them to-night fori start at Jive in the morning." But, beneath all this show of gallantry, like that of many another hern of equally desperate occasions, my heart was ill at ease. I returned to Reeves's Hotel, College Green, whore I was lodging. The individual who, at this time, so ably filled the important office of "Boots" at the hotel, was a character. De it remembered that, in his youth, he had been discharged from his place for omitting to call a gentleman, who was to go by one of the morning coaches, and who, in consequence of such neglect, missed his journey. This misfortune made a lasting impression on the intelligent mind of Mr, Boots. "Boots," said I, in a mournful tone, "you must call me at four o'clock." "Do 'ee want to get up, zur," inquired he, with a broad Somersetshire twang. "Want it, indeed! no but I must." "Well, zur, I'll carl 'ee; if you be as sure to get up as I be to carl 'ee, you'll not knoa what two minutes arter vore means in your bed. Sure as ever clock strikes, I'll have 'ee out danged if I doant! Good night, zur," and exit Boots; "And now I'll pack my portmanteau." It was a bitter cold night, and my bed-room fire had gone out. Except the rush candle, in a pierced tin box, I had nothing to cheer the gloom of a very large apartment, the walls of which (now doted all over by the melancholy rays of the rushlight, as they struggled through the i- 'os of the box) were of dark brown wainscot; but one solitary wax taper. There lay coats, trowsers, linen, books, papers, dressing materials, in dire confusion about the room. In despair I sat me down at the footof the bed, and contemplated the chaos around me. My energies were paralyzed by the scene. Had it been to gain a kingdom I could not have thrown a glove into the portmanteau; so, resolving to de ter tne packing till the morrow, 1 got into bed. My slumbers were fitful, disturbed. Horrible dreams assailed me. Series of watches, each pointing to the hour of four, passed slowly before me then lime pieces dials of larrrer size and at last, enormous steeple clocks, all pointing to FOUR POUR FOUR. A change came o'er the spirit of my dream. and endless processions of watchmen moved along, each mournfully dinning in my ears, "l ast lour o'clock!" At length 1 was attacked by nightmare. Methought I was an hour-class old Father Time bestrode me he pressed up on me witn unendurable weight fearfully and threateningly did he wave his scythe above my head he grinned at ine, struck three blows, audible blows, with the handle of his scythe on my breast, stooped his huge head, and shrieked in my ear "Vore o clock, zur I zay it be vore o'clock." It was the awful voice of Boots. "Well, I hear you," groaned I. "But I doant hear you. Vore o'clock, zur." "very well very well that'll do." "Becirin' your pardon, but it woan't do. zur. 'Ee must get up past vore, zur." And here he thundered awar at the doorf nor did he cease knocking till I was fairly up, and nad shown mysell to him in order to satisfy him of the fact. "That 'lido, zur: 'ee toald I to carl 'ee. and I hope 1 ha carl 'ee properly." I lit my taper at the rush licht. On openiug a window-shutter, I was regaled with the sight of a log, a parallel to which London itself, on one ot its most perfect November days, could scarce ly have produced. A dirty drizzling rain was falling. My heart sunk within me. I t was now twenty minutes past four. I was master of no moro than forty disposable inilmlfx. onrl in Hi brief space what bad I not to do! The duties of the toilet were indisponsable the portman lean must be packed and, run as fast as I might, l could not get to the coach-office in less than ten minutes. Hot water was a luxurv not to be procured: at that villainous hour not a h it man being in the house (nor, do I firmly believe in the universe entire) bad risen my unfortu nate sen, and my companion in wretchedness, poor Hoots, excepted. The water in the jug was frozen; but, by dint of hammering upon it with the handle of the poker, I succeeded in enticingoutaboutasmuch as would havefilled a teacup. 1 wo towels, which had been loft wet in Ihe room, were standing in a chair, bolt upright, as stiff as the poker itself, which could almost as easily have bent. Thetooth-brushes wero riveted to the glass in which I had left them, and of which (in my haste to disengage them from their strong hold) they carried away a fragment. The soap was cemented to the dish my shaving brush was a mass of ice. In shape more appalling discomfort had never appeared on earth. I approached the looking class. Even had all the materials for the operation been tolerably thawed, it was impossible to use a razor by such a light. "Who's there!" "Now, if 'ee please zur no time to lose-only twenty five minutes to vive." I lost my self-pusscssion. I have often wondered that morning did not unsettle my mind. There was no time for the performance of any thing like a comfortable toilet. I resolved therefore to deter it altogether till the coach should stop to breakfast. "I'll pack my portmanteau that mini bo done." In went whatever came first to hand. In my haste I had thrust in among my own things one of my host's frozen towels. Every thing must come out again. "Who's there!" "Now, zur 'ee'll be too late, zur.' "Coining!" Every thing was now gathered together the portmanteau would not lock. No matter it must be content to travel to town in a dishabille of straps. Where are my boots! in my hurry I had packed away both pair. It was impossible to travel to London, on such a day, in slippers. Again every thing to be undone. "Now, zur, coacb be troing." .The most unpleasant part of the ceremony of hanging (scarcely excepting the closing act) must be the hourly notice given to the culprit of the exact length of time he has to live. Could any circumstances have added much to Ihe miseries of my situation, most assuredly it would have been those unfeeling reminders. "I'm coming," again replied I, with a groan. "I have only to pull on my boots." They were both left-footed! Then must I open the rascally portmanteau again. "Please, zur "What in the name of do you want now!" "Coach be gone, please, zur." "Gone! Is there a chance of overtaking it!" "Bless 'ee! not sir not as Jem Robbins do droive. He be five mile oft by now." "You are certain of that!" "I warrant 'ee zur." At this assurance I felt a throb of joy, which was almost a compensation for all my sufferings past. "Boots," said I "you are a kind-hearted crea ture, and I will give you an additional half crown. Let the house be kept perfectly quiet, and desire the chambermaid to call me " "At what o'clock, zur!" "This day three months, at the earliest." Ohio Bank Note Table.

I hereby certify that I have had built for the Mansion House at Syracuse, n Cistern which will liold 600 barrels, and that the same is now eound and as hard ns a brick, and I most cheer fully recommend the Cement Cisterns to the public, as preferable to any now in use. PI11LO N. RUST, July 12il, 1835. Syracuse, Aug. 26,1834. I have exmnined a number of water Cisterns, constructed en tircly of a Hydraulic Cement composition, on a plan Invented by Mr. O. Parker of thin town, and have no hesitation in expressing the opinion of their decided lupcriurity over any other In use. The composition of which they are made. Laconics after a few wttks, entirely petrified, while Us chemical properties, it Is believed, will cause it to grow still harder by time: clrcu instances, which it would lectn, must render a Cistern as durable as though hewo in solid rock. J. D. CLARKE. This li tn certify thtit I had lour Cisterns constructed Inst fall of Cement alone, according to Mr. Purkor's patent, neither of which were in the lenit degree Injured or affected by frost the past severe winter: and thnt I consider thcin superior to Cisterns of any other kind, being apparently as good as if cut out of solid rock. I havo also examined various other urtlclcs of Mr. Parker's work, and consider his Invention in the use of Cement of vnst importance to the public. BAMUEL WHITTtMORE. New York, May 18, 18S5.

The two volumes recently issued by the Harpers, under tbe title of 'Letters from Constantinople,' will no doubt be read with great avidity. They are understood to be from the pen of Commodore Porter, American Charge d'Aflairs near his Sublime Highness Sultan Mahmoud. The letters were evidently not designed for publication. They are written in a free, easy, conversational style, and were addressed to James K. Paulding, Esq. They embrace sketches of the manners and habits of the Turks, as well of high as of low life of the females as well as the males. We have only found leisure to look through the first volume, but are extremely anxious to peruse the second, and can assure the reader that a more interesting work has not appeared from the press for years. Tho station of Com. Porter afforded him peculiar facilities for studying Turkish life and character, and hence we find many dcscriplions in these letters altogether novel and interesting. Wo subjoin two extracts one in relation to the women of Turkey, their appearance and enjoyments; the other an outline of tho Sultan. Philadelphia Inquirer. Thb Sultan. As the Sultan approached the vessel, the old hakim appeared to be explaining to him something about the dunces he had seen. They both appeared to be in fine humour, and every now and then, the doctor would touch the Sultan's arm, and desire him to look at him, and he would try to imitate the steps of the . European dances. Tho Sultan cunie to tho distance of about three paces from the vessel, when he stopped, and as suming all the majesty of the sovereign of a great empire, ho cast his eyes around among us; and immediately asked who I was? They told him. He then inquired who my nephew was, and on being informed called Mr Eckford to him, and gave him a snuff box set with diamonds. I landed with my nephew, and walked to a little distance, when every person on board, down to the very lowest, was called on shore, and each one in turn, received a present in money. I had a fine opportunity of seeing the Sultan. He has a noble countenance, though an eye that cannot bear your earnest look for an instant. His features are regular and handsome, and he has a fine rosy complexion, but a little brown, from frequent exposure to tho sun. His form is erect, ubout five feet ten inches high, a little inclined to corpulency. His beard is rather short, but full and of a deep shining black. It is said to be stained, which I think is probable. His head was covered with the red fez, without any other ornament than the full blue silk tassel, which hung from the top and full behind. He wore a straight-breasted, light-blue silk jacket, with a collar closely buttoned up the chin, on the breast of which was a smull diamond badge. His trowscrs were of crimson silk, rnthor full and gathered round the waist, descending to the ankle, where they were quite tight, and allowed off to great advantage, a handsome foot, covered by a silk stocking, and a remarkable neat European shoe, tiod with a black riband. The wholo dress was simple and very becoming. It resembled, except the fez, such as gen. tlemen of the United Slates put on their sons between the ages of six and eight, the jacket was rather short waistcd. " The whole personal appearance of the Sultan was very clean, and what surprised me was, that it was much more so thun any of the young pachas, and the others who attended him. In fact, there .was a slight air of dandyism about him. A SCENE IN TIIE VALLEY OP SwEET WATERS. Talking of women reminds me of a scene I witnessed last Friday, the Turkish Sunday. I will try to describe it, but I fear that I shall not succeed better than 1 did in my description of the Bosphorus. But lake it such as it is. " An old gentleman who lives at a village about five miles below me, on the other side of the Bosphorus, called Candalir, asked me to como over to take breakfast with him, and promised me a distant view from the top of the hill of an assemblage ol the females of the X urkish fiirm lies of Constantinople and the neighboring towns as they gather together in the valloy of b wee t Waters ol Asia, every r nuay, and there pass the day, amusing themselves variously. . He said he could not approach them, but' that the sight at a distance was worth seeing. I nc cordingly went to his house, whore I was inlrodu' ced to his wife, his eight or ten married dauelv ters, and their from six to eight children apiece, and after enjoying the magnificent view from the hill at the back of his garden, proceeded to my kaick, and embarked for tho valley of Sweet waters about a mile above us. A kaick is a long narrow light boat 1 :ko an Indian canoe, but turning up at each end; highly ornamented by carved work and cildinrj. and rowed (that is the diplomatic ones,) by three sturdy Musselmen, dressed in white course shirts and trowsers, their muscular arms bare to the shoulders, a small red skull-cap with a bluo tassel on their heads, and each rowing two pair of oars. The larger kind carry from four to five pas-sengors, seated on carpets in tho bottom of the after part of the bout, and they skim along with a velocity which is almost incredible They are beautiful things and perfect of thoir kind. At Buvucdcre, a man's rank is as well known by the number of his oars as by the number of strokes on the bell. On our way to the valley, we were joined by numberless kaicks filled with women, and in addition to the usual complement, as many children as they could stow away among them, and they appeared to take very good care that no room should bo lost. Women aro generally economical, and aro so in Turkey, at least when boat hire is in question, so fur as I could judge from appearances. We entered with them a narrow fresh-water river, up which we proceeded for about a mile. when we came to a light and airy wooden bridge thrown across the stream, near which was a landing place, and at it a multitude of kaicks, irom the rank ot three banks down to one. A string of carriages, filled with women and children, was at the moment crossing the bridge to the place near where we had landed, which was the entrance to an extensive grove, consist, ingoftrees ofthelurgest kind; some in clusters of three, four and five; others spreading their branches to an immense distance, sllording ample space and shelter from tho sun for thou-sands. Here and there were seats, and a mar ble fountuin of clear and cold water, supplied the means of refreshment. ,The Turkish carriage is a curious vehicle. It is something in shape like our Jersey wagons, without springs or seals, and is drawn by two fut and beautiful light grey oxen, most gorgeously decorated on their flanks, back and shoulders with gold, and a rich fringe work made of silk. On tho face from tho horns to the nose is a piece somewhat in the form of a shield, composed of innumerable looking glasses, set in gold and silk work. The carriage is called an arabn, it is probable from the rich arabesques, with which the exterior as well as the interior is covered, highly ornumonted with gold and rich point work. It has a bow top covered with a rich woollen or silk cloth, generally red, with whito silk or linen curtuins neatly fringed. The entrance is at the back by means of a small ladder, and the persons within are seated in the Turkish manner on rich and soft cushions. Each of those vehicles contained from six to eight Turkish ladies dressed in orientul richness; the curtains of most of them were open; many of the ludics had their luces exposed, at least long enough to give me a full view of them. They were of various ages, most of them from fifteen to three or four and twenty, and the major part of them extremely beautiful. Charmed with this unexpected, and singularly beautiful and picturesque spectacle, I followed the direction of the carriages up the valley, where I saw seated on rich Turkey carpets, spread on the grass in the shade of the wide spreading trees, many hundreds of young and beautiful Turkish women amusing themselves variously. Their carriages were druwn up in lines near them; the oxen, under the charge of the keeper, were grazing on the smooth green lawn which was in the cen. tre of the grove; the children, richly clad and beautilul as angles chasing tho butterflies and grasshoppers, while bands of wandering min strels, generally Greeks, enchanted with their music and love songs groups of "lights of tho harem;" here and thare a wundering Bohemian, or Hungarian, recounting some love adventure, or an bgyptiun fortune teller, examining the palms, und exciting the hopes of some believing fuir one. Among other exhibitions for tho amusement of the domestics and the children, was a large grisly bcur which had been taught to dance, to wrestle, &c. ccc. led by a savage from the north, moro wild and grisly than his companion.Not a. Turk was visible in this wholo scene, except a small guard of soldiers at tho landing place, to keep order among tho boatmen, the women were as free as the air they breathed, and as unrestrained. I went among them, made signs to them, for I could not speak; my compan ioDs (I had two,) talked to them; there was scarcely a fuce amongst them worth seeing, that 1 nau not a lull view ot, and never In my lilt: did 1 so much regret tho want of a tongue to express myself. It is difficult to reconcile oneself to the Turk ish fomale dress. Thnt of tho men is loose, flowing, and rich; and from tho quantity of ma terials of which it is composed, gives to the man an air ot magnificence, from the apparent in crease of all his dimensions. The idea is meant apparently, to be kept up as regards the female figure, but they loose that airy neatness, and sprighthness of action, which distinguishes christian woman, or one dressed in the christian stylo. An Armenian woman in the Turkisl: dress, is altogether a ditlurcnt being Irom an Armenian divesled of her load of cloth, boots, and slippers coming oil at every moment as she walks. Tho Turkish female dress consists of first a piece of fine muslin which covers tho head down to the eye-brows; unothor in some cases as trans parent as uir; which covers the face from tho noso down, and conceals tho neck and bosom one or two lino and rich vests open at tho breast which is hid by tho aforesaid transparent veil; looso trowsers gathered abovo tho hips, and be low the knee; a rich sash passing several times around the waist; thin yellow morocco boots, which reach to the culf of the leg, and yellow slippers; a long silk garment with sleeves falling to the ankles, and over all a full cloak of the finest broadcloth, trailing on tho ground, with a squaio capo of equal length and long sleeves This with a mullitudo of massive gold bracelets rings, chains, and a profusion of jewels, and you have a tolerably lair picturo ot a 1 urkish lady of rank, such as I saw, and of tho family of tho Keis fcllendi, corresponding with our Secretary ofStuto, whoso wife and family 1 had tho honor to salute, and to receive from them a suluto in return; that is to say, the right hand laid on the breast, the head gently reclined; then the right hand shifted to the head; the salutation is grace ttscii tne way tney do it. bpcaking of the dress; it is a great incum branc? to them in walking. Tho cloak is etcr nally dropping off one shoulder or the other: then it has to bo hitched up; by the time it is fixed, off comes a slipper; in stooping to see where it is, (for they can't look down without stooping, from tho qunntity of clothing which interposes between their eyes and tho ground.) off drops the clouk from their shoulders; now both arms and hands are required to draw it on which they do by cutching hold of the side of the cloak, and throwing their arms open in an elevated direction, thus exposing all their under garments and finery. When you see a Turkish' woman walking, it appears as if sho had as much as she could do to keep herself together. xet for all this, tho scene of the Valley of Sweet Waters was lovely, and tho situation in which 1 was placed, singular. 1 have no re collection of any traveler mentioning this placo or noticing tho extreme license given to Turkish women on their bunday. 1 hey scarcely seem ed to bo aware of tho impropriety of a departure irom their usual concealment in our presence: thoy gnzed at us, nnd wo gazed at them with equal curiosity. What struck me most w their brilliant black eyes, Iheir beautifully arch cd eyo-brows, and their long and glossy black hair almost reaching the ground. The delicate fairness of their skins, is owing uuuuut9 iu muir connirement to tneir nomes: of their figures I could not judge. Some of them have thrown off their clumsy yellow boots, and ubstituted the silk open work stockings and ippers; handsomer ankles, and smaller and moro beautiful feet, I have never seen. When man buys a wife, if rich, he undoubtedly chooses a handsome one. The Turks are a no ble race of men, and the women being gener- II y of Circassian origin, it is not surprising that the daughters of the Turks should bebeautiful. EAKLY RISING. From " Sketches and recollectiont:" by J. Poole. I do not call him an early riser, who once in is life may have been forced out of bis bed at o clock on a November morning, in conse- uence of his house having been on fire ever since seven: nor would I attach such a stigma to him who, in the sheer spirit of fool-hardiness and bravado, should for once "awake, arise," ven three or four hours earlier, in the same nclement season. , myself, ham done it! But the fact is that the thing, as a constant prac tice, is impossible to one who is not "to the manner bom." He must be taught it, as a fish is taught to swim, from his earliest infancy. l Know it may be objected to me, that chim ney-sweepers, dustmen, &c, are early risers: ut tins 1 would rather take to be a vulgar error. than admit it as a fact.- What proof can you adduce that Ihey have yet been to bed! For my own part, 1 am unwilling to think so uncharitably of human nature, as to believe that any realed being would force another to quit bis bed at 5 o'clock on a frosty morning. 1 have confessed that once, in the sheer spirit f bravado, I myself rose (or promised to rise) t that ignominious period of the night known, r rather heard of, by the term "four in the morning." Aly fully deserved a severe punishment, which, indeed, it received in its own con sequences: but, since I have lately been inform ed that a "good-natured friend " is of opinion that it merits Ihe additional chastisement of publio exposure, I will (to spare him the pain of bestowing it upon me) inflict the lash with my own hand. I had the pleasure of spending the last Christ mas holidays very agreeably with a family at Urislol. Having an appointment of some importance, for the eighth of January, in London, Had settled that my visit should terminate on Twelfth-night. On the morning of that festive occasion I had not yet resolved on any particu- ar mode of conveyance to town; when, walk- pg along ISroad-st., my attention was brought o tho subject by the various coach advertise ments which were posted on the walls. The Jlighuyer" announced its departure at three n the afternoon a rational hour; the "Mag net" at ten in the morning somewhat of tbe earliest; whilst the "Wonder" was advertised o start every mornine at five precisely!'.! a glaring impossibility. wo olten experience an irresistible impulse to interfere in some matter, simply because it appens to be no business of ours: and the case in question being clearly no affair of mine, I re solved to inquire into it. I went into the coach- ouice expecting to be told, in answer to my very first question, tint the advertisement was altogether a rune de guerre. "So, Mr, said 1 to the book-keeper, "you stare a coach to London at five In the morn' ing!" 1 cs, sir," replied he, and with the most per feet nonchulance! "You understand me! At five five in the MonNiNol" returned 1, with an emphasis um ciently expressive of doubt. "i cs, sir five to a minuto: two minutes later you II lose your place." 1 lua exceeded all my notions of human im pmlcnco. It was evident I had here an extra ordinary mine lo work, so I determined upon digging into it a few fathoms deeper. And would you, now, venture to book place for me!" "Let you know directly, sir. (Hand down the 'Wonder' Lunuun-book, there.) When for, sir!" I stood aghast at the fellow's coolness. After a momentary pause, "For to-morrow," said I. full outside, sir. Just one place vacant tn." The very word "outside" bringing forcibly to my mind the idea of ten or a dozen shivering creatures being induced, by any possible means, (o perch themselves on the lop of a coach, on a dark, dull, dingy, drizzling morning in January, convinced me that the wholo affair was what is vulgarly called a "take-in." 'to you will then venture to book a place for me! " "Yes, sir, if you please." "And, perhaps, you will go so far as to receive half my fare!" "If you please, sir one pound two. "Well, you are an extraordinary person! I crhaps, now pray be attentive perhaps now you will carry on the thing so far as to receive the whole!" "If you please, sir two pound four." I paid him the money, observing, at the same time, and in a tone calculated to impress his im agination with a vivid picture of attorneys counsel, judge, and jury "You shall bear from me again. "If you please, sir. To-morrow morning, at five, punctual start to a minute, sir thank'ee air good morning, sir. And this he uttered without a blush! "To what expedients," thought I, as I left the office, "men will resort, for the purpose of in juring their neighbors! Here is one who ex poses himself to the consequences of an action at law, or, at least, to tho expense of sending me to town in a chaise and four, at a reasonable hour of the day; and all for so paltry an advan tage as that of preventing my paying a trifling sum to a rival proprietor and on the preposter ous protence, too, of sending me olt at live in the morning!" The first person I met was my friend Mark Nottingham; and even now, though months have since rolled over my head, I shudder at the recollection of the agonies I suffered, when assured by him of the frightful fact that I bad, really and truly, engaged to travel in a coach which, really and truly, would start at five in the morning!"It may be asked why I do not forfeit myforty-four shillings, and thus escape the calamity. No the laugh would have been too much against mo: so, resolving to put a bold face on the matter, I I will not say I walked I positively swaggered about the streets of Bristol for an hour or two, with all the self-importance of one who has already performed some extraordinary exploit, and is conscious that the wondering gaze of the multitude is directed towards him. being condemned to the miseries, it was but fair that I should enjoy the honors, of the undertaking. To every person I met, with whom I had the slightest acquaintance, I said aloud, "I start at Jice to-morrow morning!" at Ihe same time adjusting my cravat and pulling up my collar; and went into three or four shops, and purchased trifles for which I had no earthly occasion, for the pure gratification of my vain-glory, in saying "Be sure you send them to-night fori start at Jive in the morning." But, beneath all this show of gallantry, like that of many another hern of equally desperate occasions, my heart was ill at ease. I returned to Reeves's Hotel, College Green, whore I was lodging. The individual who, at this time, so ably filled the important office of "Boots" at the hotel, was a character. De it remembered that, in his youth, he had been discharged from his place for omitting to call a gentleman, who was to go by one of the morning coaches, and who, in consequence of such neglect, missed his journey. This misfortune made a lasting impression on the intelligent mind of Mr, Boots. "Boots," said I, in a mournful tone, "you must call me at four o'clock." "Do 'ee want to get up, zur," inquired he, with a broad Somersetshire twang. "Want it, indeed! no but I must." "Well, zur, I'll carl 'ee; if you be as sure to get up as I be to carl 'ee, you'll not knoa what two minutes arter vore means in your bed. Sure as ever clock strikes, I'll have 'ee out danged if I doant! Good night, zur," and exit Boots; "And now I'll pack my portmanteau." It was a bitter cold night, and my bed-room fire had gone out. Except the rush candle, in a pierced tin box, I had nothing to cheer the gloom of a very large apartment, the walls of which (now doted all over by the melancholy rays of the rushlight, as they struggled through the i- 'os of the box) were of dark brown wainscot; but one solitary wax taper. There lay coats, trowsers, linen, books, papers, dressing materials, in dire confusion about the room. In despair I sat me down at the footof the bed, and contemplated the chaos around me. My energies were paralyzed by the scene. Had it been to gain a kingdom I could not have thrown a glove into the portmanteau; so, resolving to de ter tne packing till the morrow, 1 got into bed. My slumbers were fitful, disturbed. Horrible dreams assailed me. Series of watches, each pointing to the hour of four, passed slowly before me then lime pieces dials of larrrer size and at last, enormous steeple clocks, all pointing to FOUR POUR FOUR. A change came o'er the spirit of my dream. and endless processions of watchmen moved along, each mournfully dinning in my ears, "l ast lour o'clock!" At length 1 was attacked by nightmare. Methought I was an hour-class old Father Time bestrode me he pressed up on me witn unendurable weight fearfully and threateningly did he wave his scythe above my head he grinned at ine, struck three blows, audible blows, with the handle of his scythe on my breast, stooped his huge head, and shrieked in my ear "Vore o clock, zur I zay it be vore o'clock." It was the awful voice of Boots. "Well, I hear you," groaned I. "But I doant hear you. Vore o'clock, zur." "very well very well that'll do." "Becirin' your pardon, but it woan't do. zur. 'Ee must get up past vore, zur." And here he thundered awar at the doorf nor did he cease knocking till I was fairly up, and nad shown mysell to him in order to satisfy him of the fact. "That 'lido, zur: 'ee toald I to carl 'ee. and I hope 1 ha carl 'ee properly." I lit my taper at the rush licht. On openiug a window-shutter, I was regaled with the sight of a log, a parallel to which London itself, on one ot its most perfect November days, could scarce ly have produced. A dirty drizzling rain was falling. My heart sunk within me. I t was now twenty minutes past four. I was master of no moro than forty disposable inilmlfx. onrl in Hi brief space what bad I not to do! The duties of the toilet were indisponsable the portman lean must be packed and, run as fast as I might, l could not get to the coach-office in less than ten minutes. Hot water was a luxurv not to be procured: at that villainous hour not a h it man being in the house (nor, do I firmly believe in the universe entire) bad risen my unfortu nate sen, and my companion in wretchedness, poor Hoots, excepted. The water in the jug was frozen; but, by dint of hammering upon it with the handle of the poker, I succeeded in enticingoutaboutasmuch as would havefilled a teacup. 1 wo towels, which had been loft wet in Ihe room, were standing in a chair, bolt upright, as stiff as the poker itself, which could almost as easily have bent. Thetooth-brushes wero riveted to the glass in which I had left them, and of which (in my haste to disengage them from their strong hold) they carried away a fragment. The soap was cemented to the dish my shaving brush was a mass of ice. In shape more appalling discomfort had never appeared on earth. I approached the looking class. Even had all the materials for the operation been tolerably thawed, it was impossible to use a razor by such a light. "Who's there!" "Now, if 'ee please zur no time to lose-only twenty five minutes to vive." I lost my self-pusscssion. I have often wondered that morning did not unsettle my mind. There was no time for the performance of any thing like a comfortable toilet. I resolved therefore to deter it altogether till the coach should stop to breakfast. "I'll pack my portmanteau that mini bo done." In went whatever came first to hand. In my haste I had thrust in among my own things one of my host's frozen towels. Every thing must come out again. "Who's there!" "Now, zur 'ee'll be too late, zur.' "Coining!" Every thing was now gathered together the portmanteau would not lock. No matter it must be content to travel to town in a dishabille of straps. Where are my boots! in my hurry I had packed away both pair. It was impossible to travel to London, on such a day, in slippers. Again every thing to be undone. "Now, zur, coacb be troing." .The most unpleasant part of the ceremony of hanging (scarcely excepting the closing act) must be the hourly notice given to the culprit of the exact length of time he has to live. Could any circumstances have added much to Ihe miseries of my situation, most assuredly it would have been those unfeeling reminders. "I'm coming," again replied I, with a groan. "I have only to pull on my boots." They were both left-footed! Then must I open the rascally portmanteau again. "Please, zur "What in the name of do you want now!" "Coach be gone, please, zur." "Gone! Is there a chance of overtaking it!" "Bless 'ee! not sir not as Jem Robbins do droive. He be five mile oft by now." "You are certain of that!" "I warrant 'ee zur." At this assurance I felt a throb of joy, which was almost a compensation for all my sufferings past. "Boots," said I "you are a kind-hearted crea ture, and I will give you an additional half crown. Let the house be kept perfectly quiet, and desire the chambermaid to call me " "At what o'clock, zur!" "This day three months, at the earliest." Ohio Bank Note Table.

Parker eroded a water Cistern of Hydraulic Cement, for the benefit of this 1:oufc, containing 200 arrcis, aim mat it proven to be a first rate article, and I do not hesitate to recommend his mode of constructing Cisterns as supe rior to any other. . DANIEL COMSTOCK. I I ereby certify that I have been cm-need in butldins water Cement Cisterns for the last year, to the number of about One Hundred, in Jefferson county, N. V. and can say without anjr hesitation, that they have stood the season and are now sound and like Bione Jars set in the earth. July 13, 1834. W. D. DERRICK. I hereby certify that I have had built for the Mansion House at Syracuse, n Cistern which will liold 600 barrels, and that the same is now eound and as hard ns a brick, and I most cheer fully recommend the Cement Cisterns to the public, as preferable to any now in use. PI11LO N. RUST, July 12il, 1835. Syracuse, Aug. 26,1834. I have exmnined a number of water Cisterns, constructed en tircly of a Hydraulic Cement composition, on a plan Invented by Mr. O. Parker of thin town, and have no hesitation in expressing the opinion of their decided lupcriurity over any other In use. The composition of which they are made. Laconics after a few wttks, entirely petrified, while Us chemical properties, it Is believed, will cause it to grow still harder by time: clrcu instances, which it would lectn, must render a Cistern as durable as though hewo in solid rock. J. D. CLARKE. This li tn certify thtit I had lour Cisterns constructed Inst fall of Cement alone, according to Mr. Purkor's patent, neither of which were in the lenit degree Injured or affected by frost the past severe winter: and thnt I consider thcin superior to Cisterns of any other kind, being apparently as good as if cut out of solid rock. I havo also examined various other urtlclcs of Mr. Parker's work, and consider his Invention in the use of Cement of vnst importance to the public. BAMUEL WHITTtMORE. New York, May 18, 18S5. Having had several pieces of work done in Hydraulic Cement, according to Mr. Parker's patent, mid having scon cisterns and other articles composed of the same niatcrinl, all which I regard ns perfect, belti'j far superior to tlx same kind of work done Id brick or stone laid in mortar, I cheerfully icromntend them to tbe public. GARR1T GILBERT. New York, May It3,183j. This is to certify that Mr. Oliadmh Parker, in the fall of 1834, built four Cisterns at our houses lit Christopher street, entirely of American Ccmeni; that tl'.oy were exposed to the cold of the winter, which hnd no perceptible ell eel upon them whatever, and we consider thmn to have been tested ns to strength, and believe they nrc much better calculated to resist frost than brick or stone Cisterns, being entirely composed of one material; and that their capacity to hold water, we consider ns beyond doubt. We have seen various models of Improvements In the construction of the arch and curb, at No. 107 Ames st. and from the experience we havo had in tho article, we should not hesitate to recommend them.
